We strive to offer affordable rentals for our customers and in doing so offer multiple levels of service from do-it yourself to full service event set-up and teardown. Please contact us to discuss your facilities rental needs - 541-766-6088 (Nancy Swain) or 541-766-6521 (Main Line). For a comprehensive look at Facility Rental Policies, please read the Facility Rental Guide PDF found at the bottom of this page.

Rental Set-up: We try to be as affordable as possible for our renters which is why we have three options:
  1. Staff delivers requested items and renter sets-up and tearsdown.
  2. Staff delivers requested items and renter sets-up then has staff teardown.
  3. Staff delivers requested items, sets-up and tearsdown.

Options 2 and 3 incur labor charges in addition to rental charges. If you are interested in any of these options, please let us know.

No event is considered booked until the deposit is received (unless the deposit is waived) and for events serving alcohol, no event is considered booked until arrangements are made with a Fairgrounds approved Commercial vendor for alcohol service; Valley Catering must included catering, Mazama Brewing, or Oregon Beverage Services. They will provide all serviceware, servers and monitors for events serving or selling alcohol. For events scheduled to end past 9 PM where alcohol is served, the Fairgrounds will schedule security through TCB and bill the renter. Security will be onsite one hour prior to the start of alcohol service and TCB will lock up the building at the end of the event.

After calling to discuss your rental needs (if you choose to call) AND/OR once you submit the online Reservation form, your event will be booked and you will receive two copies of the Agreement – one marked ‘Client Copy’ and the other to sign and return. Both have your Invoice as the last page(s). The Agreement will be sent to you by US Mail.

Payment is by cash, check or card. Card payments can be made by phone - 541-766-6521/541-766-6088..

Facilities are available from 8am – 11:59 pm
